<br />
I purchased a few items back a couple of months ago and promised I would come back with my reviews on them.<br />
<br />
First up were the Boscia Sake Brightening Eye Masks:<br />

<br />
I haven't got through the pack because I've honestly been pregnant and lazy especially with beauty routine LOL, but I did give them a good whirl and honestly didn't notice too much of a difference. I love the cooling effect, but other than that I didn't notice much so I'll probably try out another product once I use them up!<br />
<br />
Next product was the Sephora Fine Line Eyeliner:<br />

<br />
This product I really loved!! It gives a nice thin line because of its fine tip and also lasts all day! I've used quite a few eyeliner products and I really fine this one to be great and will definitely repurchase this product :)<br />
<br />
Lots of Love, Crystal XOXO<br />

<br />
As I was doing my makeup this morning, I started thinking about how much I have learned about beauty and makeup over the past few years, mostly from You Tube. It's such an incredible dictionary and wealth of information these days and I'm thankful :) I've rounded up a list of 7 top things that I have learned since becoming involved in this wonderful community.<br />
<br />
1). It's not the products, but the application<br />
- Don't get me wrong, I have some top beauty fav's, but at the end of the day, you can get soooo many great products that work equally as well and it really comes down to how you apply it.<br />
<br />
2). Less is more<br />
- Yes I know everyone says this, but boy is this ever true!! I look back on some of my pics and I noticed that I used more product and it def looks more natural when you apply anything subtly.<br />
<br />
3). Yes eye makeup opens your eyes<br />
- Boy is this ever true! Just notice the next time you take off your makeup leave one eye with makeup and one without, it makes a world of a difference and anytime I don't wear it everyone says, "oh you look sooo sleepy" lol.<br />
<br />
4). Get rid of that face fuzz!<br />
- So just about everyone has some face fuzz and most of it is actually light and not even noticeable, but makeup application goes on like wonders if you get rid of that crap. I used the old fashioned blades that I get from a beauty supply store and they work beautiful. They even help with hair around the eyebrows. Not to mention, its exfoliating your skin as you do it! You're moisturizer and makeup will look much more flawless without this peach fuzz :p<br />
<br />
5). Eyebrows define everything!<br />
- Honestly without your eyebrows properly groomed, everything else will not look as good. You must groom them and also fill in sparse areas with a similar eye shadow shade or an eyebrow filler of your choice.<br />
<br />
6). Skin Care is CRUCIAL!<br />
- Without proper skin care, no makeup will look good! You really have to start from the inside out and take good care of your skin. This will insure the best makeup application!<br />
<br />
7). Lastly, YES makeup (if done properly) makes EVERYONE look better!<br />
- Personally I don't feel that I "need" to wear makeup, but I feel better when I do. I feel like I'm put together and not walking out in my PJ's. DO yourself a favor and sit down and watch some you tube vidoes on proper application. This will be life changing and if done properly, you end up highlighting your best features and just looking like a better version of yourself and who doesn't want that??!!<br />
<br />
I could really go on and on, but these are a bunch of ones that just popped in my head and wanted to share! What have you learned over the years? Would love to hear them :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Before I go further, I want to tell you that I did get everything on my 2015 Wish List :)...(yes I'm spoiled, but shhhh). Anyway, I did get some lovely Sephora gift cards for Christmas as well and have been eyeing the Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation, so I decided to go and get color matched. I got matched to Y215 and got a sample to try it because I didn't want to spend the money on it and not like it, so samples rock and I love that Sephora is generous with them!<br />
<br />
So, while I was there I repurchased the Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 by Tarte. This is an amazing moisturizer and it has natural SPF which I love.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also picked up 2 unexpected items. I've been craving a nice liquid black eyeliner lately and decided to try one from Sephora's Line, since I think that cosmetic line doesn't get enough love to be honest...their products are super! I went with the Fine Line: Waterproof 24 HR Fine Liner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly as I was checking out, I noticed a cute little limited edition LaVanilla Deodorant in mini size called Vanilla Snowberry Mini. I've tried them before and its the only natural one I've ever tried that actually worked for me!</div>

<br />
Lately I've been eyeing the innovative eye masks. I've seen many celebs, such as Kourtney Kardashian wearing these and thought they might be nice to try, but didn't want to spend a crazy amount of money so I waited until I found a reasonably priced pack. This brings me to my latest trip to Sephora and found that Boscia had a version of these hydration cooling eye gel pads called Boscia Sake Brightening Hydrogel Eye Masks. Their's claim to " Revive the skin around the delicate eye area with these Sake Brightening Hydrogel Eye Masks. Infused with sake, antioxidants, and plant extracts, they work to brighten, firm, hydrate, and reduce the look of fine lines while restoring skintone and texture to prep skin for your skincare regimen."<br />
<br />
I decided to buy them and just tried them for the first time last night. The feeling of using them is wonderful because they are very cooling and not inconvenient. You can put them on and then go about your business and then when they come off you are to supposed to rinse or anything and just rub in the left over residue into the skin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">They are </span><span style="line-height: 18.75px;">C$19.00 for 3 pairs, so I thought that was a reasonable price, especially when </span><span style="line-height: 22.5px;">SK-II sells them for well over a $150.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.5px;">I'm going keep trying these and report back on my findings but first impressions </span></span><span style="line-height: 22.5px;">definitely</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.5px;"> have been positive.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Have you tried any of these eye treatments?? If so what ones and did they work??</span><br />

<br />
Thought I would show you what I have on my wish list this year :)<br />
<br />
First up, alot of my makeup brushes are shedding and have been for some time. These are Sigma brushes which I purchased years ago...at least 4-5 years ago. They are great but decided to try out the Real Techniques this time...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD3rnMBvgwQ-bOdW92ooKpn-N_D20cm-xIyIfCpCNxL771jGH__ly3JDb0gpjTpfRJmlAo2DpUyXeUBEgZhScKIFtvOwFWAnqRGXwNBB89ngxPzLLsfXhqJss2oU8gJwnakUvQmFM6orVX/s1600/brushes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD3rnMBvgwQ-bOdW92ooKpn-N_D20cm-xIyIfCpCNxL771jGH__ly3JDb0gpjTpfRJmlAo2DpUyXeUBEgZhScKIFtvOwFWAnqRGXwNBB89ngxPzLLsfXhqJss2oU8gJwnakUvQmFM6orVX/s320/brushes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next up, is the Anastasia Contour Palette. I wasn't too much on the band wagon with these palettes, but I know the Kardashian's swear by them and also, my Bobbi Brown Bronzer just cracked and won't close :( I can use this palette as a regular bronzer as well so I thought the purchase would make since, or whoever buys it for me hehehe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next up, is the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in <span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Amethyst. I'm all about easy makeup these days so I love the idea of just easily applying this all over the lid and a little liner and then done.</span></span><br />

<br />
As usual its been a while, but as I was putting myself together this morning before heading out Christmas Shopping, I realized while using 2 products that I really should share! There really is no better recommendation than from someone who continues to repurchase the same product because they love it so much. These days there are sooo many options when going to buy a beauty product, that sometimes I end up not buying anything because I get overwhelmed with the amount of options. Well here are 2 products that I have purchased and repurchased and will continue to repurchase :)<br />
<br />
Hands down my FAV mascara is Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (and let me tell you, I have tried my fair share). As with many mascaras, it is best once its been open for a while so its not as wet. It truly has the best volume and lengthening that I've ever used and I just love it! I buy mine at Sephora, but I'm sure many online places sell it including Urban Decay themselves!<br />

The second item would be used to remove this baby, but it can also be used as a cleanser, which I've been doing these days. Its Bioderma and it removes makeup like a dream. I put some on a cotton pad and hold it over eyes for a short time and it literally takes off everything! It runs a little pricey at around $21 CAN but it truly lasts me for a very long time, at least a few months, if not more. A small amount of this will do your whole face. No water needed, just dry face off afterward and apply moisturizer or whatever your next step is after removing makeup and cleansing :) I get mine at Shoppers Drug Mart here in Canada and to be honest thats the only place I have found it, but I'm sure its on Amazon these days as well :)<br />

Haven't really been into exploring new products lately and won't buy anything unless I'm absolutely obsessed. There is one product that if I can get my hands on here in Canada, I would buy in a heartbeat and that's the Chanel ILLUSION D'OMBRE in New Moon but I can't find it anywhere!</div>

<br />
Anyway, its been June since I blogged so I figured I would do one since its 2015 (how crazy is that btw??)<br />
<br />
In the beauty world, I honestly haven't been buying too much! I have been shopping my own collection and trying to use up things. Not to mention, we got married in November so was saving for that expense! I think the only thing I bought was a L'Oreal Voluminous mascara (all time fav):<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
and Santa brought my the Sephora's Last Stash for Christmas. This gift is a mascara lovers dream! It comes with 1 full size mascara and a bunch of little ones. I couldn't find it on their link so I think they only release it around the holidays but I might be wrong. For close to $50 Canadian, you get to try all of the popular mascaras! Great bang for your buck!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this little gift, I trialed Urban Decay's Perversion mascara and oh my gosh! I never buy "high end" mascara because I honestly think you can buy great ones at the drugstore, but when this runs out, I maybe making a quick trip to Sephora for the full size! Its honestly amazing!!!</div>

<br />
The brush and the formula are both on par...just gives your lashes tons of length and volume!<br />
<br />
Anyway, thought I would chime in with a little update since these products are def on my all time fav list :)<br />
<br />
Will be back soon!<br />

Hey Dolls,<br />
<br />
We're having a pretty relaxing weekend on this end and decided to share it with you guys :)<br />
<br />
My Fiance, Petter, is actually doing his Executive MBA, so once a month he has to drive into Toronto from Thurs-Sun for classes, so its just been me and the Pups for most of this weekend :)<br />
<br />
Friday night I took them for a nice long walk after work and when we came back they were absolutely exhausted LOL .The pic below is just before they went for a nap :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Petter didn't get home until late on Friday, so we didn't do much at all. Just relaxed for a bit and then went to bed.<br />
Saturday the pups and I just relaxed. It was a little too warm to take them for a walk, so we hung out around home and in the backyard.<br />
<br />

Saturday evening once Petter got home, we decided to go out for dinner and because the weather was sooo stunning, we decided to hit a patio and enjoy a cold one :)<br />

Lately I haven't been doing too much in the makeup side of things...keeping it quite simple, but I did put myself together for this dinner, so here is a pic! Most of my eyes are covered by my sunglasses, but I am sporting one of my all time favorite lip glosses, Celeste by Buxom. These lip glosses in general are my fav, but Celeste and White Russian are my fav shades :)<br />

<br />
Let's start this post by saying that, "no I have not tried every other mask out there", but I have tried many, both high end and low end (ie. Boscia & Ole Henriksen), and I can tell you that this mask is the best of the best (for what it is supposed to do). I personally have dry/combination skin and I just love this mask because it dries up any incoming and current pimples. Not to mention the smell of mint is very detoxifying and soothing, in my opinion. I use this 1-2 times per week and leave it on for 20-25 mins, or until its good and dry. It claims to rinse away blackheads, but I can't say for certain that it indeed does this, but it def helps reduce them if you keep using it on a regular basis. I buy mine at my local Sally Beauty Supply here in Ontario for $9...can't go wrong right? I've repurchased and will continue to do so. There is currently this big fad with GlamGlow face masks, but I'm not even interested in trying it because I'm so pleased with this and don't feel the need to try another! :) I'm faithful to this product I tell ya LOL<br />
<br />
Anyway, run out and pick this up! I would be super surprised if you don't enjoy it as much as I do :)<br />

</a>I bought this primer back in the Summer and have been trying it out alot lately...actually its been the only primer that I have been using. I enjoy it, but don't think I will purchase again. It really seems to give me a nice glow and also keep my makeup on all day, but I feel most primers do this and I can usually get a glow with my foundation (current fav is Smashbox Liquid Halo). For the price point and hype I was expecting a spectacular product, but not worth it in my opinion.<br />
It is good product but didn't wow me so I'm just gonna use it up and not repurchase. <br />
<br />
Have any of you tried this?? If so, how do you like it?<br />
<br />

The first thing I done was research on healthy shampoo's and stumbled upon Phyto products which I now swear by! Then I also decided I would let the little highlights and colour I had grow out and get my natural colour back. I also decided to stop washing my hair as often and discovered dry shampoo (BEST INVENTION EVER IMO).<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's a little background which will explain where I'm going here...<br />
<br />
With all of that happening, the last thing I wanted to do was go to a professional, so I didn't go for a long time and then about a year ago I decided to research some of the top salons in my area. I found one that had great reviews and I requested a Senior Stylist! I wanted to get a consult of where I was and what I should do moving forward to keep my hair healthy and bring it back to life. I should note that I tried to change my diet and also started drinking alot of water to help with the overall healthiness of my hair and myself in general.<br />
<br />
I've been very happy with the Senior Stylist I have been seeing and I've been going to see her routinely to get trims and get sooo many tips. One of the first and most important tips I received from her is that if you have fine or thing hair...layers is NOT for you!!!! Alot of stylists will say, "oh you need layers for volume"...yes that's correct...layers give you volume, but if you already have fine thin hair, the only thing you get with layers, is less hair!!!!!! I'm in the middle of growing my hair out to one length at this point because the previous hair dresser I went to, botched me and gave me the shortest layers and my hair grew out uneven and horribly!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just wanted to right this blog to shed some light to anyone that is going through something like this! Hard work and dedication pays off for anything and this is no exception!<br />
<br />
Let me know your hair story and great tips you ahve learned along the way!<br />
<br />

<br />
This may seem like an obvious thing to some people, but since my Mom's visit, I realized that there are alot of people that don't understand the importance of owning a round brush!<br />
Alot of people think that a round brush means waves or curls, but in actuality, its mostly used to straightened hair during a blowdry!<br />
If I blow dried my hair without using a round brush, I would not leave the house because my hair is sooooo frizzy LOL. <br />
The next time, you dry your hair, take the last few minutes and dry it with a round brush! You will get rid of frizz...Trust Me on this!!! You can even use it to flip your ends inward or outward.<br />
<br />

<br />
I done a little unexpected shopping yesterday and decided to do a quick blog on it! My Fiance & I went for an awesome Sunday brunch and then he had to go to Home Depot so I tagged along but done some of my own shopping in the area instead of going to Home Depot!<br />
<br />
First up, I went to Urban Barn. This is the first time that I have ever been in this store and I was really impressed. While, I could have purchased more than I did, the only 2 things I got were, this incredibly awesome Laughing Buddha and a lovely throw for my living room area that was on major sale!<br />
<br />

<br />
After that, I dropped into Walmart quickly with the intention of finding a particular eye palette that one of my fav girls, ( @c_balz ) on YT, Facebook and Twitter :) recommended and was lucky enough to find it!! Check her out, she is awesome and genuine.<br />
The palette is awesome for everyday use!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, I have been searching for some good storage options for my makeup because I ran out of space along time ago and the clutter was getting unbearable, so I dropped into Solutions and found a great Acrylic organizer. I couldn't seem to find it online, so I will take a couple of pictures of it when I get home and post....maybe a makeup storage collection :)</div>
<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of Summer :)<br />

<br />
If any of you live in the Toronto area, you probably have heard about Shops on Don Mills! Its a great place to shop and they have one of the only Murale stores around. I dropped in on my way to lunch and saw this Murad product that I immediately decided I must try. For any of you that don't know me well, I really don't make purchase decisions very easy...LOL. I contemplate over whether I need it, etc., etc., but with this product I picked it up and put it in my shopping bag and checked out! Let's see if this is a "meant to be" situation!<br />

<br />
Lately I've been veering more towards pinks and purples for nail polish choices, but Sunday I decided to shop my nail polish collection and go with something a little different.<br />
<br />

<br />
As you see above, I went with Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Calypso Blue. I can't even remember when I bought this, but I forgot how beautiful this color is. I went with it on my toes as well.<br />
<br />
What colours have you been using so far this summer??<br />

<br />
Happy Saturday Everyone! If you haven't already figured it out, I went shopping and I thought I would do a blog post of what I bought. The MAC eyeliners were planned and then the rest just happened after an impromptu trip to Target! :p<br />
<br />
Top Left - Mossimo Wedges from Target<br />
* I've been looking for a neutral pair of wedges for the longest time and finally found a pair that I liked at Target!<br />
<br />
Bottom Left - 2 MAC Eye Kohl's in Teddy & Powersurge<br />
<br />
Top Right - It's a 10: Miracle Leave In Spray<br />
<br />
Bottom Right - Maybelline Great Lash Clear Brow Gel<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you guys enjoyed this and are having a great weekend!! Let me know if you have tried any of these products :)<br />

<br />
Let's see if I can get better at blogging :p....<br />
<br />
Lately I've been creating smoothie's for breakfast. I usually make them the night before and then drink them on my way to work. We are all about preparation in this household and I can thank my Fiance for that. When we first got together I used to laugh at how he prepared his food and even clothes for the next work day, but I do the same thing now...lol...and its the best!!!!<br />
<br />
I have been using the Magic bullet to concoct a different variation of a green smoothie every morning. I always use a cup or 2 of spinach or kale (switch them up every week), 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1 tbsp of plain Greek yogurt and then a variation of fruit. My favorite is the Welch's frozen Strawberries and Banana's. Oh and I also also been adding Chia seeds since I've been reading about the crazy benefits online.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Let me know if you give this a try! If you're a beginner, you may want to go with only a cup or less of greens just to get used to it. If you chose nice sweet fruit, you won't even taste the greens, but will gain all of the wonderful nutrition :)<br />

<br />
Wow, I never realized how much work keeping up with a blog could be when you have a full time job, but I recently cracked and got an Iphone after 8 years of blackberry, so the picture quality is great! This will allow me to take a lot of pics throughout the day that I can blog about later :)<br />
<br />
Let me know if you have any requests for posts! :)<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!<br />

I wore it the other day, so figured I would share how I wore it. There wasn't great lighting in the picture, but hope you Enjoy :D<br />

<br />
Sorry I've been MIA lately, but we've been busy and I have also been trying to shop my own collection and use up products that I have without purchasing new ones. With that being said, I decided to do a lust list of products that I have my eye on when I finally use up some of my own and want to buy some new ones :D<br />
<br />First up is the new Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara. I just recently picked up the Maybeline One by One Mascara and I'm really enjoying it, but definately gonna try this one next!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU3bG-vaq6mGp5jgwiwHTtEnnyISx4xyrSnrRZXNISm65cuYf5qSGeHh23byyLH-SxH0kQBkxOWmU1epwqoJdG3KBEggJMzDtW7Ic3B4MkDZEfCbVl1UuPAfmv7WWGKQ1_BGC5uQj_6jcI/s1600/mega+plus.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
Second is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Undereye Concealer. This is a cult favorite since it hit drugstores, but I have sooooo many concealers from Maybelline to Bobbi Brown to MAC that I want to use up before I buy another one. <br />
<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
Third is the Lancome DUAL FINISH - Versatile Powder Makeup. I'm not usually a fan of powder foundations, other than my Bare Escentuals Mineral foundation, but a friend of mine swears by this and it looks gorgeous on her!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNIHrZK2uQGLDcwpWJhvCh6DG9EeCjmt3eAnigYFgXMURIdaPlj2kcOV7zmLYWphcQ0SavPgzf36dq3szWQfJv5e6qVISj93Fue_YmSP6uRK-x4KsChITsdjfSt_StpsW5hrLDhS3pLf-p/s1600/lancome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNIHrZK2uQGLDcwpWJhvCh6DG9EeCjmt3eAnigYFgXMURIdaPlj2kcOV7zmLYWphcQ0SavPgzf36dq3szWQfJv5e6qVISj93Fue_YmSP6uRK-x4KsChITsdjfSt_StpsW5hrLDhS3pLf-p/s1600/lancome.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lastly is the new Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation. I'm not a fan of the regular Colorstay formula, but I'm intrigued to try this one. Again, gonna use up a couple of my other formulas before I buy another one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I decided to keep up with the bright and colourful Spring theme colours, even though the weather here has been pretty up and down. I got the inspiration from a post in Cosmo called a Sorbet Sundae. They said to use Pistachio and Creamsicle colours to create an unexpected twist on pastel-polish trend. I used China Glaze Peachy Keen and an accent nail in Essie's Absolutely Shore. Really enjoying it so far.<br />
<br />
What new nail trends have you tried or plan to try??<br />
<br />
Lots of Love, Crystal...XOXO<br />

<br />
I bought my very first MAC blushes a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share the beauty with you.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mocha is a matte soft plum-pink shade. I have fair skin and its looks great on me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Warm Soul is a mid tone beige with gold pearl. It looks quite shimmery in the pan, but looks amazing when applied to the cheeks. It has a bronzy hue to it so it can even be substituted as bronzer to warm up your cheeks. Take a look at a couple of swatches in the pics below:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
